Encyclopedia > IFTA Award

The IFTA Award (Irish Film & Television Award) first appeared in 1999. It's sole aim was to celebrate Ireland's small yet talented film and television community. Since it's inauguration 8 years ago there have been six ceremonies however it only officially began in 2003 as a full scale awards ceremony that honoured every area of film and television production. Each year we observe a growing anticipation within the film and television community to see who is short-listed and who will eventually win the much coveted IFTA. The ceremony has quickly become Ireland's most prestigious awards event.

The Irish Film & Television Academy

In 2006 the Irish Film & Television Academy advertised membership openings in Academy to all professionals in the fields of Irish Television and Film. It's aim was:


" The mission of the Academy is the stimulation of original and creative production work, and the encouragement of excellence through recognition, education and leadership in film and television ". [1]


The proposed ways to enforce this ideology are as follows


The Academy aims to do this by:

  • Encouraging high standards of art and technique in persons engaged in production work and to celebrate excellence through the annual Awards Ceremony.
  • Raising the profile of Irish talent & production, by actively promoting Irish excellence within the Academy and ensuring that achievements are recognised and respected throughout the world.
  • Establishing an academic programme of activities to nurture and encourage emerging Irish talent.
  • Safeguarding the integrity of the Irish Academy's annual Film and Television Awards.

Some of the Academy’s programme of events will include:

  • The Academy will have a number of feature film and television screenings for both Full and Associate Members.
  • There will also be special Screenings of titles during Voting Season (for Full Members only) in the lead up to the annual Awards ceremony.
  • Educational event; Lectures, debates, master-classes, Q&A's and workshop, along with networking evenings and social events.
  • The Academy will partner with IFTN to produce the Annual Awards ceremony.
  • The Academy will publish a quarterly magazine ‘IFTA Academy’ for the Academy members, industry & corporate partners, outlining Academy News, events, interviews and other industry news.
  • The Academy will extend its membership to international members and also invite a core group of international jury members in order to bring the work of Irish talent to the attention of prominent industry representatives across the world.
  • The Academy will establish an official archive/catalogue of photography, publications, formal records of Nominees & Winners to ensure an accurate and comprehensive history of the Academy in the future.
  • The Academy will host the annual 'Academy Christmas Party', to celebrate the achievements of the year (for all members plus one guest).

The Unofficial award ceremonies

In 1999, Belfast city was the host city that saw the first unveiling of the IFTA Award. It was a low key event that looked as if very little effort was put into it. Especially if you compared that event to today's official awards. It televised live by RTÉ (Ireland's National Television Station) which was followed by another ceremony in 2000 which was also televised. However nothing was seen off the award again till January 2003, which was not televised. Radio Telefís Éireann[1] (RTÉ; IPA: ,  ) is the Public Service Broadcaster of the Republic of Ireland. ...
